Oatmeal-Glazed Breakfast Cake

This hearty cake is packed with oats, flavored with cinnamon and topped with a warm glaze made with more oats, shredded coconut and nuts. We used pecans, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. It's a great way to clean out the pantry and simple enough for kids to help with. Bake one over the weekend and you'll have breakfast ready to go all week long. It's delicious at room temperature or lightly warmed in the microwave.
